Purchased new phillips DVP5990 dvd player. I have watched two DVD's on it fine. tonight I tried watching a dvd, and all the colors are reversed- IE Blue is orange, black is white, etc. I have tried unplugging and starting over, changed DHMI jack, reset to factory settings, and obviuosly changed DVD. Nada Audio is crystal clear...

I am having the same problem. I tried a new HDMI cable. I changed the resolution, like the Phillips site suggested. I then brought the player backand exchanged it. same problem.. I do not experience the problem with component cables though. But then I lose the upscaling capabilities, don't I? AND I had to buy an extra set of cables, besides the HDMI cable.I am having the same problem. I tried a new HDMI cable. I changed the resolution, like the Phillips site suggested.

I found a solution. Check on Phillips website to see if there is a BIOS update available. Download it, burn it to a cd. Load it in the player and it will update. After I did that, no more strange colors.

put the dvd plug scart into the spare scart socket on the vhs player,then u can only use one player at a time,ie if watching dvd put vhs player into standby or vice versa,the other scart socket on the vhs player goes to the tv. when not using either be sure to put both on standby.

the picture color problem is the coolant in the CRTs. You can get the coolant replacemnt Kit at the following link. The other problem with the Input through DVD sounds like the signal board. You can get the replacement board and the Phillips CRT coolant kit at the following link.http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/

there is a possibility that you have switched the RCA cables for the right port, the color patterns happen if your plug the component RCA ( Y Pb Pr) on a diff port. their usually color coded so please double check that to.

if not, please let us know what is the model number of the TV and we will find what can be done in the TV.

I figured it out,
The solution to my problem was to update my video cables for my new HDTV.
I found out through trial and error that I can only have one Anolog device hooked up to the TV because with two Anolog devices hooked up the same way it must confuse the TV somehow making one of the inputs showing up in Black and White, So I purchased the color coded AV jacks and everthing works like a charm now.
